Praise for The Migraine Relief Plan Cookbook


“Much useful information is packed upfront, from the basics (food, sleep, exercise) to the prevailing science, as well as lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a shopping guide, and a monthly calendar to acclimate to the changes she advocates. Then the dishes, freely borrowed and adapted from others: breakfast hash, wild game chili, ratatouille, 'faux' guacamole (substituting squash for avocado), sorbet, fudge. Her inclusion of a 'budget-friendly' indicator, three 'progressive cooking' recipes that adapt well to leftovers, and quotes from members of the medical community help this stand out.” —Booklist

Stephanie Weaver provides common-sense advice and fixable, straightforward recipes to optimize every meal and snack. Using her book can enhance dietary excellence and the lifestyle behaviors useful in headache management.” —Dr. Stewart Tepper, Director, Dartmouth Headache Center
